Marrakech Medina Night Tour
Overview
Marrakech changes character once the sun goes down, and this four-hour walk is built entirely around that shift. A guide leads the way through lantern-lit souk lanes into Djemaa el-Fna at its loudest, past drum circles, storytellers and rows of food stalls, before finishing at the floodlit Koutoubia minaret. Hotel transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle bookend the walking.
Highlights
- Djemaa el-Fna at full tilt: gnawa drummers, storytellers and smoking food stalls
- The souks after dark, lantern-lit and far less crowded than by day
- The 12th-century Koutoubia minaret floodlit against the night sky
- A registered historian guide to read the square for you
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle
- Available as a private walk or a small group
Full Description
Djemaa el-Fna Square
After dark the square fills with drum circles, storytellers and rows of food stalls firing up under strings of bulbs. Your guide threads you through the crowd and explains what is actually going on.
Duration: 1 Hour
Souk Semmarine
The main artery of the souks stays open late, its lanes stacked with lanterns, woven baskets, leather and cones of spice. An hour here without the daytime crush.
Duration: 1 Hour
Koutoubia Mosque
The Almohad minaret is lit from below at night and visible from across the city. The gardens around its base make a calm place to end the walk.
